I'm leaving on Monday for my first camino (July and August), very excited!
c) anything else i should ditch?
!
No iPad, just an old kindle! It weighs next to nothing without the caseIn my view, definitely the ipad...but you did say it was non-negotiable
I understand, because I'm sorely tempted also to take my mini ipad to keep records on, but I don't agree with the statement: it ways next to nothing! I've thrown out several next-to-nothing weights out of my backpack on my first camino (even if they were only 5 or 10 g!) Kindle on your phone perhaps?No iPad, just an old kindle!

haha fair enough! i honestly just can't stand the thought of reading on my phone! I'd rather get rid of clothing than the kindle.I understand, because I'm sorely tempted also to take my mini ipad to keep records on, but I don't agree with the statement: it ways next to nothing!

You phone should weigh less and with a fresh card hold 1000s of pictures.camera with film????
I understand about expensive gear, but try checking...say Target or Kohls or even Walmart for some quick drying T shirts
I'm leaving on Monday for my first camino (July and August), very excited!
Here's my clothing packing list:
1pr new balance loose quick-dry lightweight pants for walking
1pr light cotton pants for evenings or could probaby walk in them.
1pr quickdrying sports shorts for sleeping and/or walking
1 super lightweight cotton dress
1 cotton t-shirt (i know i know. i'll survive, it's summer. can't afford anymore expensive gear, so I'm going with what i have and hike in here in Vancouver)
1 thin cotton tank for sleeping or maybe walking (again, i know cotton is looked down on but i'm sure it'll be fine, it's summer!)
1 linen long sleeve for sun protection
3 pairs underwear
2 pairs of smartwool socks
2 bras
sunhat
sunglasses
rain poncho
teva sandals
new balance trail runners.
silk liner
light towel
patagonia nano puff jacket
bandana
1L water bottle
I'm also bringing a small camera with film, and a kindle, neither of which is negotiable.
all the other stuff is standard fare, minimal toiletries and first aid type stuff, headlamp, tiny muji notebook and pen, earplugs, cellphone, a super tiny bag for evenings, perhaps a fanny pack for passport etc...
So my questions are:
a) should i buy another pair of smartwool socks with my last remaining pennies? I've really blown my budget already buying backpack and shoes and all the other little things but i also want to make sure i'm comfortable!
b) should i get rid of a pair of pants and/or dress? I really just want to have at least one nice thing to wear that feels good for evenings and for traveling a bit after, and I figured the cotton pants could double for walking too if need be.
c) anything else i should ditch?
Any advice from those who've done the trip would be great, thank you!
